3 Ringed Circus at Amanda Lepore's Big Top

The other night I stopped by Kenny Kenny's new soon-to-be-legendary party for Amanda Lepore. There was enough glitter, sequins and spandex to outfit an entire performing troupe. These 3 girls alone make me (almost) love spandex. And I lovelovelove the gold high tops on the girl in the middle! So nice to see flats on a girl out at night! And the feather earrings on the girl on the left are great as we...

Bitches with Cigarette Burns

Last night I went to the meatpacking district club Griffin for the first time. It was a little too full of Gossip Girl wannabes and the men who buy them drinks, (James Coppola's table being the obvious exception!)but I also met some cool people. Like Hiraku Morilla who is one half of a design duo that goes by the memorable name The Bitches with Cigarette Burns. I think his look is perfection from head to toe. And it also reminds me that I really want to get some Doc Martens for summer...

A Dandy in New York

While nowadays there are many looks for men from the black skinny jean hipster to skate punk to preppy, many of them seem to be personified by a distinct desire not to grow up. Or a frightening excess of facial hair - which is perhaps overcompensation for feelings of insecurity in terms of their masculinity. The Dandy is a distinct look that is refined and is worn by those secure enough to know that elegance and masculinity are not necessarily polar opposites. Matt Fox is one such person and has a sense of style I've always admired. In addition he is one of the owners of the Fine and Dandy Shop, an online emporium which offers "accessories for...

chelsea in her empire dress

I met Chelsea at the Maison Margiela party the other night through our mutual friend Peter Hale Cooney III. I told her I liked her dress and she said it's her own design. Maxi dresses will be big this summer but this one's different than most that look like they're straight from an LA party circa '79. This is an empire dress with a gathered bottom and a decidedly romantic feel. I especially love the pocket detai...

Street Style NYC @ Good Units

This is one from the archive: from a party at Good Units. I love this club below the Hudson Hotel and it's supercool vibe. The best part is that there is NO Cellphone reception so people have to deal with their insecurities and just talk to strangers instead of masking it in self-important texting and chatting. I wish cells were banned from nightlife with the exception of tracking down friends. And if you had friends as fun and stylish as these two you wouldn't be looking for more elsewhe...

Fabulous Frida

What do I like about Frida's style? The high waisted skirt is perfectly balanced by the cropped jacket and the peekaboo bit of bra adds some some sexy playfulness. But the best part is her poise and confidence which emanates from this diva danc...

NYC Street Style

My dear friend Colleen Koltick was rocking this custom made Pegasus jacket at our Get Your Fame On party last Saturday night at Sloane. The image looks like it was taken off a 5th grade girl's notebook, but the sweetness is offset by the additional spikes and studs. And I love that Colleen's eyeshadow matches the jacket...a genius bit of chan...

Q + A with Helena Fredriksson

The further I get from the age of 24 (the age it seems so many designers are designing for) the harder it is for me to find fashions that resonate with me. Because I'm relatively small I deplore wearing ruffles or florals or anything too sweet. On the other hand I get bored with black and all the shredded and deconstructed stuff going on. (although that I do own) So if you're somewhere in the middle what is there to wear? H Fredriksson is one answer. Designer Helena Fredriksson's clothes are a brilliant combination of sophistication and sex appeal. Born in Sweden and now living in Brooklyn, her beautiful hand batiked silk dresses and other clothing...

Ubercool x 2

The woman on the right is Lindsay Jones, a designer of the uber-cool line Outlaws of the Border. I don't know if either of these women are wearing that label but I think they both look brilliant. Lindsay looks charmingly waifish like Pippi Longstocking grown up and her friend is rocking the black and red in a way that's simultaneously retro and current -and smoking hot. Kudos to bo...

Sabrina Bacon is Trendilicious

This girl on the left is Sabrina Bacon and quite honestly, I don't really know her. But I liked her vibe and so invited her to my event tonight. Whether or not she shows I have to give props to her style. I spent this afternoon researching the dominant trends of spring. (not because I'm a blogger but for a different freelance job -although it's not bad for the blog either!) Anyways according to my research Sabrina is rocking 3 of the top trends in this one outfit: over the knee socks, florals, and pleated skirts. And she does this all without looking like a try-too-hard girl. And her friend is sporting an early Hanson 'do (no offense!)and skinny...

As promised, a few people from the party. I love the straw fedora. They're everywhere right now.  I'll be picking up a $10 version on Canal Street because I'm not sure this trend will last more than a summer but it will be a fun way addition to an outfit in the meantime...

Zac Posen for Target Party

Two of the girls from THE LIKE wearing Zac Posen for TargetI'll be honest: I get alot of invitations for various store launches etc and most of them I don't go to and even when I end up attending I frequently don't write anything up. Because...the people are boring and everyone seems stiff and though they're trying to force festivity onto commerce. As anyone who loves a good party will tell you, you can't make a successful party so much as it just "happens". This is especially true when it's a promotional event. So I was pleasantly surprised that not only was the Zac Posen for Target Party tolerable it was (gasp!) fun. (click the read more below...
